Sean Payton and Drew Brees said all the right things during the New Orleans Saints' weekly meeting with members of the network broadcast team on Saturday about their upcoming against the winless St. Louis Rams.

"In talking to Drew yesterday (Saturday), he said elite teams do not have letdown games - bottom line," Fox color analyst Tim Ryan said during the first half of the Sunday broadcast.

Play-by-play announcer Chris Myers recounted what Payton said he told his team during the week leading up to the game: "Do you want to be a good team or do you want to be an elite team? There's a difference there. You can't stub your toe and be one of the elite teams when you're supposed to be win games and you don't win them."
